Only had my Kia Soul EV a week, so a bit early days, but it’s a really good car. As others have said, fast, quiet & comfortable.
I’ve done 280 miles, charged it once so far at a rapid (no home charger yet) while we walked the dog round the loch next to the charging station, no time lost to charging & £30 in fuel costs saved.
I’d say don’t knock it till you’ve tried it and if it suits then happy days, if not, then stick to what does suit you as best you can on the scheme.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
